Iran’s Top Commander: UN Now Knows Netanyahu as “Warmonger”
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces General Hassan Firouzabadi condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s threats against other countries, specially Iran, at the 68th UN General Assembly meeting in New York, and said Netanyahu registered his name as a “warmonger” at the UN.
“Netanyahu has marked his name as a warmonger on the UN walls, and gained nothing but enhancing the Zionists’ threats through these comments,” Firouzabadi said on Wednesday.
He described Netanyahu’s comments as desperate, and said speaking of the military option has now become a rusty and blunt sword and even the table that they say it is still on, is not much powerful because it is broken.
Firouzabadi hailed the Iranian nation’s power, greatness and firmness as well as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei’s stances, specially the well-known “heroic flexibility” in foreign policy, and said Iran will be the winner of this battle field and the Iranian nation has still stood powerfully on its revolutionary and positions.
His remarks alluded to the September remarks by Ayatollah Khamenei who said he has long held the belief in “heroic flexibility” in domestic and foreign policy, but cautioned that the tactic which is very necessary on some occasions should only be practiced after one gathers deep insight about the nature of his/her foreign rivals.
“I agree with the issue that I called some years ago as heroic flexibility since this move is highly good and necessary on certain occasions, but with commitment to one main condition,” the Supreme Leader said, addressing high-ranking commanders and veterans of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Tehran at the time, where he underlined his support for correct and logical moves on the scenes of foreign and domestic policy.
He described apprehending the opposite side’s nature and gathering a correct understanding of his goal-setting as the main condition for using the heroic flexibility tactic, and said, “A technical wrestler also shows flexibility for technical reasons sometimes, but he would never forget who his rival is and what his main goal is.”
Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the necessity of complete loyalty to Islam and revolution values, saying whoever is more loyal to the main message of the Islamic Revolution and can analyze the enemies’ plots and behavior within the framework of the hegemonic system’s challenge with the Islamic Revolution will be further exposed to the arrogant powers’ fury and wrath.
